WHISKEYTOWN Forever Valentine + The Fucker Demos (1997/1998)

Two sets of unreleased recordings from alternative country greats, Whiskeytown. Forever Valentine is fitting for VD (Valentine’s Day, that is), and features live studio outtakes and unfinished material that the prolific Ryan Adams saw fit to record, then abandon. Something he’s done repeatedly throughout his career. The Fucker Demos are from the tail end of Whiskeytown, around 1998, and have been floating around in at least two different configurations. There’s a so-called “complete” version out there, but it really just combines the two known versions, adding four out-of-place demos from, seemingly, another session altogether. In fact, I’ve seen these same tunes referred to as Heartbreaker demos, even though Heartbreaker, a post-Whiskeytown Adams’ solo album, came out in 2000. There are a few sound issues on various tracks – they’re not all perfect – but that shouldn’t hamper your enjoyment. These demos don’t compare to Whiskeytown’s officially released albums, of course, but are examples of Adams’ effortless ability to create viable, nuanced alt country, and should find favor with fans.

I have a cd entitled Ryan Adams The Heartbreaker Demos which is actually The Fucker Demos and Forever Valentine combined. I was confused for a while because i knew that they were Whiskeytown songs. Brilliant stuff, regardless.
